1793 Chain 1C Periods Fine 15 NGC. S-4, B-5, High R.3. The
Chain cent with periods following the date and LIBERTY is a
separate Guide Book type that is represented by only one
variety. As a result, it is in extreme demand from both variety
specialists and Guide Book type collectors. The Chain cents
were the first of the three major design groups struck in 1793, as
the Philadelphia Mint began producing our nation's coinage. Five
different die varieties of the 1793 Chain cents are known, although
one of the five is extremely rare, with only two known
specimens.
This piece has deep gray-brown surfaces with moderate granularity,
occasional subtle spots, and a couple of minor rim dings, typical
for surviving 1793 Chain cents. EAC 8.(Registry
values: P5) (PCGS# 91341)
